Passwords app for macOS: In the app’s settings, enable “Show Passwords in Menu Bar” to give yourself even easier access to your passwords.

It shows recently-created accounts by default with smart suggestions for the currently open app. Has search, + (New Password), and one-click copy for user names, passwords, and one-time codes.

@rmondello Nice! Any chance there’s a way to bring this up with a keyboard shortcut? It would be great to be able to search/fill a password without needing to leave the keyboard.

@matt @rmondello You can use Keyboard Maestro’s Find Image to „click“ the menu bar icon.

(Yeah there should be a shortcut)

@rmondello Hey Ricky! Any chance of solving the issue where apps/websites don't properly annotate OTP fields as such? It's the only thing that prevents me from migrating from 1Password onto the built in one! 🙏 Read more here: https://mastodon.social/@xmollv/113171083366271260

@rmondello I switched from another password manager to purely iCloud Keychain a year or so ago, and the biggest pain point was no longer having a hotkey to open password seardh that was as seamless as it had. This makes my life so much easier.

@rmondello great tip, thank you!

I had decided not to use this during the beta period, but it seems there’s been a lot of improvements.

Any chance that mini window could open with a keyboard shortcut? That’s ingrained muscle memory from 1Password and my primary interaction method on macOS.

@rmondello actually, further than that, it would be nice to navigate it using the keyboard. For the moment, the keyboard seems to only interact with the search field.

Ideally the up/down arrows should go through the list and left/right should go in and out of items.

At the very basic level, tab doesn’t seem to work (unlike the main app) which doesn’t seem great for accessibility.

@rmondello ah okay - glad to hear. I’m liking it so far, really snappy.

It’d be nice to see the Hide My addresses in here too, it’s slow to load/interact with in the settings app and feels hidden away.

@rmondello I immediately went looking for this after upgrading but ended up going back to a shortcut in the Menu Bar. I couldn’t get used to the fact that unlocking the Menu Bar didn’t unlock the app (and vice versa). Are there any plans to do this?

Love having the full app btw, thanks for making it happen 👏

@rmondello please make it also show the ‘notes’. It’s frustrating having to delve into a password just to see which one I need to use when I have multiple for the same website.

@rmondello Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking, but I got a bit worried by the Passwords app and Safari in Sequoia.

I disabled the "Automaticaly Create Passkeys" setting, because I want to control passkeys by myself.

So imagine my surprise when I saw this in Safari.

From what I see in Safari, I think I that have a passkey in my Apple ID, but from what I see in Passwords, I think that I don't have any passkeys (which would be correct).
